⚡ Quick Answer

Open your wallet, tap Send, select USDT, paste the recipient T-address, verify the network is TRC20/TRON, enter the amount, review the fee, and confirm. Before sending: (1) the address starts with T and matches exactly, (2) the network is TRC20, (3) you have energy or TRX for the fee. Keep the TXID afterward.

📄The Three Checks (Do These Every Time)

Check 1 — Address: starts with T, 34 characters, matches the saved contact exactly.
Check 2 — Network: TRC20 / TRON on both ends. Never ERC20 or BEP20.
Check 3 — Fee: you have energy or at least ~10 TRX for the fee.

⚠️ Note

These three checks prevent the three most common losses: wrong address, wrong network, failed transfer. Two seconds each. See 12 rules.

Check	How to Do It	What It Prevents
Address	Match first 4 + last 4 against saved contact	Sending to a poisoned or mistyped address
Network	Confirm TRC20 shown, not ERC20/BEP20	Losing funds on the wrong chain
Fee	Check energy balance or TRX buffer	Transfer failing or paying burn price

📄Sending to an Exchange (Extra Step)

When sending to an exchange deposit address, one extra field appears: the memo. Forgetting it means stuck funds. Copy it exactly as the exchange shows it — never invent one. Full details in the memo guide.

Exchange deposit = T-address + your unique memo

The address is the building, the memo is your apartment number. Both required.

📄Keeping the Fee Low

The fee is energy-driven: with rented or staked energy you pay ~$0.2–0.5; without it, TRX burns (~$2–4). Always check your energy balance before large batches. Our rental guide explains how to get energy cheaply.

📄What Could Go Wrong

Wrong network → funds lost (troubleshooting).
Missing memo on exchange deposits → stuck funds (memo guide).
No TRX for fee → transfer fails; add TRX first.

❓Frequently Asked Questions

What network do I select to send USDT?

TRC20 (TRON) — always, unless the recipient explicitly requires another network. The recipient’s address format confirms it: T... = TRON.

Why is my USDT send fee high?

Your wallet lacks energy, so TRON burns TRX. Rent energy to cut the fee by ~70–80%.

How do I know the transfer succeeded?

The wallet shows “Success” and the TXID. Verify on TronScan if in doubt.

Can I cancel a USDT transfer after confirming?

No — on-chain transfers are final the moment they confirm. The three checks before sending are your only “cancel button.”

What if I pasted the wrong address?

If it is a real but wrong address, the funds are likely gone (final on-chain). If it is your own typo, there is no recovery. This is why the address check matters.
